[0002] In the operation of transporting high-viscosity crude oil by oil tankers, the traditional liquid cargo tank heating system adopts a bottom coil heat exchange device to evenly heat the entire tank. Its inherent process mode has dual technical defects: on the one hand, limited by the low thermal conductivity of crude oil and static storage conditions, the insufficient heat diffusion efficiency leads to a slow heating rate, which is difficult to match the timeliness requirements of port loading and unloading operations; on the other hand, the whole tank heating process will intensify the volatilization of light components of crude oil, causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to continue to accumulate in the gas phase space at the top of the liquid cargo tank, and its concentration may reach the critical threshold of the vapor explosion limit (LFL) of oil products (such as the LFL of typical crude oil is about 1.1% volume concentration), thereby significantly increasing the difficulty of implementing safety control measures such as tank gas replacement and inert gas covering during unloading operations, and posing a potential safety hazard to operations.

[0030] The first implementation method:

[0032] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 A plurality of edge gas injection pipes 8 are provided in the discharge pipe 2 and are circumferentially distributed and close to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2. The ends of the edge gas injection pipes 8 are connected to the central gas injection pipe 7. The edge gas injection pipes 8 are provided with evenly distributed third spray holes 801.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , when performing unloading heating, the following steps are included:

[0035] Step 1: The controller 13 starts the heating device 4, which heats the crude oil in the discharge pipe 2, and uses the temperature sensor 5 and the viscosity sensor 6 to detect the temperature and viscosity of the crude oil in the discharge pipe 2. At the same time, the concentration sensor 12 is used to detect the concentration of volatile oil gas accumulated on the top of the liquid cargo tank 1;

[0036] Step 2: When the viscosity sensor 6 detects that the viscosity of the crude oil in the discharge pipe 2 reaches the set viscosity threshold, the controller 13 starts the electric control oil valve 3 to discharge the crude oil. When the real-time concentration of the crude oil is lower than the set minimum viscosity threshold, the electric control oil valve 3 is closed.

[0037] It should be noted that the outer end of the discharge pipe 2 is connected to the external unloading oil pump. When unloading, the electric control oil valve 3 and the external unloading oil pump are opened at the same time;

[0038] Step 3: While heating and unloading, when the concentration sensor 12 detects that the real-time concentration of the volatile oil gas accumulated on the top of the liquid cargo tank 1 is greater than the set concentration threshold, the air pump 10 is started, and the air pump 10 injects the volatile oil gas accumulated on the top of the liquid cargo tank 1 into the central air injection pipe 7 and the edge air injection pipe 8. When the real-time concentration of the volatile oil gas is lower than the set concentration threshold, the air pump 10 is turned off;

[0039] Specifically, the volatile oil gas is injected into the crude oil being heated in the discharge pipe 2 through the central gas injection pipe 7, and the refueling crude oil is stirred by the injected volatile oil gas flow, thereby improving the uniformity and heating efficiency of the crude oil heating in the discharge pipe 2; at the same time, the volatile oil gas is injected into the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2 through the edge gas injection pipe 8, thereby reducing the contact friction between the crude oil and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2, improving the fluidity of the crude oil, and at the same time, reducing the concentration of the volatile oil gas accumulated on the top of the liquid cargo tank 1, thereby improving safety;

[0040] Step 4: during the gas injection operation, when the real-time viscosity of the crude oil is greater than the set maximum viscosity threshold, the heating power of the heating device 4 is reduced or the heating device 4 is turned off so that the real-time viscosity value is between the minimum viscosity threshold and the maximum viscosity threshold.

[0041] Specifically, the injected volatile oil gas is used to make the real-time viscosity of the crude oil meet the unloading requirements, and the energy saving effect is achieved by reducing the power of the heating device 4 or turning off the heating device 4.

[0042] Compared with the traditional liquid cargo tank heating system, the present invention is provided with an air pump 10 and a central air injection pipe 7 arranged in the discharge pipe, so as to inject the volatile oil gas accumulated on the top of the liquid cargo tank 1 into the discharge pipe 2, and perform air jet stirring on the crude oil being heated in the discharge pipe 2, thereby improving the fluidity of the crude oil, increasing the heat conduction efficiency inside the crude oil, improving the uniformity and heating efficiency of the heating, and reducing the concentration of the volatile oil gas formed by heating, thereby improving the safety of the heating operation; at the same time, by providing an edge air injection pipe 8 close to the edge of the discharge pipe 2, the volatile oil gas is sprayed on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2, thereby reducing the friction between the crude oil and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2, further improving the fluidity of the crude oil, and under the condition of meeting the viscosity of the crude oil unloading, reducing the output power of the heating device 4, thereby improving the energy efficiency.

[0043] See also Figure 5There are multiple first spray holes 701, and multiple first spray holes 701 distributed equidistantly around the circumference are opened on the circumferential side wall of the central gas injection pipe 7 at the same distance from the end thereof.

[0044] Specifically, through a plurality of groups of first spray holes 701 equidistantly distributed around the circumference, the jet airflow generated by the central air injection pipe 7 is fully dispersed in the discharge pipe 2, thereby improving the pneumatic stirring effect.

[0045] See also Figure 5 A portion of the central gas injection pipe 7 located in the flow gap is provided with a plurality of second spray holes 702 , and the second spray holes 702 are evenly distributed on the circumferential side wall of the central gas injection pipe 7 .

[0046] Specifically, the crude oil at the inlet of the discharge pipe 2 is stirred by air jet through the second spray hole 702 arranged at the flow gap position, thereby increasing the fluidity of the crude oil, making it easier for the unheated crude oil to enter the discharge pipe 2, and reducing the probability of blockage at the inlet of the discharge pipe 2.

[0047] See also Figure 5 There are multiple third spray holes 801 , which are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the edge gas injection pipe 8 and whose openings face the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2 .

[0048] Specifically, the spraying effect of the volatile oil gas flow sprayed from the third spray hole 801 on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2 is improved, the friction and adhesion between the crude oil and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 2 are further reduced, and the fluidity of the crude oil is improved.

[0049] In this embodiment, the heating device 4 is a cylindrical heating plate or a spiral heating wire.

[0050] Specifically, the uniformity of heating is improved by using one of a cylindrical heating plate and a spiral heating wire.

[0051] Second implementation method:

[0052] Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 A system for quickly and evenly heating liquid cargo hot oil of an oil tanker is provided. On the basis of the first embodiment, the portion of the discharge pipe 2 located in the liquid cargo tank 1 is made of heat-conducting material, and a bottom gas injection pipe 16 fixedly connected to the liquid cargo tank 1 and extending to the outside of the liquid cargo tank 1 is provided below the discharge pipe 2. The bottom gas injection pipe 16 is provided with equidistantly distributed fourth spray holes 1601 along its axial direction, and the outer end of the bottom gas injection pipe 16 is connected with the air inlet pipe 9 and an electromagnetic flow valve 17 is provided at the connection point, and the electromagnetic flow valve 17 is connected to the output end of the gas filling module.

[0053] For details, please refer to Figure 10When the heating device 4 in the discharge pipe 2 is heating, the heat is transferred to the liquid cargo tank 1 through the heat-conducting shell wall of the discharge pipe 2, and the cold crude oil outside the discharge pipe 2 in the liquid cargo tank 1 is preheated. The crude oil outside the discharge pipe 2 expands due to the heat and its density decreases. The crude oil with a relatively high temperature outside the discharge pipe 2 is defined as high-temperature crude oil. The high-temperature crude oil will float upward due to the density difference and exchange heat with the low-temperature crude oil with a relatively low temperature located at the upper part. The low-temperature crude oil at the upper part will move downward due to the density difference, thereby improving the fluidity of the crude oil outside the discharge pipe 2 in the liquid cargo tank 1. At the same time, when performing gas injection operations, the electromagnetic flow valve 1 is opened. 7, so that the volatile oil gas is injected into the bottom gas injection pipe 16 and sprayed out from the fourth spray hole 1601, and the sprayed volatile oil gas pushes the high-temperature crude oil to move upward faster, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency between the high-temperature crude oil and the low-temperature crude oil, thereby improving the preheating effect, and further improving the heating effect on the crude oil; in addition, the electromagnetic flow valve 17 can control the injection amount of the volatile oil gas entering the bottom gas injection pipe 16 under the condition that the power of the vacuum pump 10 is known, that is, under the condition that the viscosity of the crude oil in the discharge pipe 2 is not affected, the preheating effect of the crude oil outside the discharge pipe 2 is improved; it should be noted that the discharge pipe 2 is made of metal heat-conducting material.

[0054] See also Figure 2 The discharge pipe 2 is a horizontally arranged hollow circular tube, and is arranged along the length direction of the liquid cargo tank 1. The bottom air injection pipe 16 is located directly below the discharge pipe 2 and is arranged parallel to it. The fourth spray hole 1601 is vertically facing the outer wall of the discharge pipe 2.

[0055] Specifically, the discharge pipe 2 arranged along the length direction of the liquid cargo tank 1 has a larger heating coverage range for the crude oil in the entire liquid cargo tank 1. At the same time, the volatile oil gas sprayed under the discharge pipe 2 better pushes the high-temperature crude oil heated by the discharge pipe 2 to move upward, further improving the preheating effect of the crude oil outside the discharge pipe 2, and increasing the overall fluidity of the crude oil in the liquid cargo tank 1.

[0056] See also Figure 2 and Figure 7 A group of relatively arranged guide plates 14 are provided on the outside of the discharge pipe 2, and a circulation heat exchange channel is formed between the group of guide plates 14 and the outer wall of the discharge pipe 2. The bottom air injection pipe 16 is located at the lower center position of the group of guide plates 14, and the lower end of the guide plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the liquid cargo tank 1 through a support rod 15.

[0057] See also Figure 7 The guide plate 14 includes an arc-shaped plate in the middle and vertical plates fixed on the upper and lower sides of the arc-shaped plate.

[0058] Specifically, by improving the heat exchange effect between the crude oil and the discharge pipe 2 and cooperating with the volatile oil gas discharged from the bottom gas injection pipe 16, the circulation heat exchange flow of the crude oil is further improved, and the speed and uniformity of heating the crude oil in the liquid cargo tank 1 are improved.

[0059] In view of current practical needs, the above-mentioned implementation mode adopted in this application is not limited to the scope of protection. Various changes made within the knowledge scope of technical personnel in this field without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
